Edrich At The Oval

Right-handed batsman Bill Edrich was known for his attacking batsmanship and after playing for Norfolk in minor leagues in his teenage years, he joined Middlesex in 1937.

Even at the age of 21, Edrich showed his class as a batsman and piled up in excess of 2000 runs in his first season with Middlesex.

From then on, he continued his brilliant run-scoring over the next 22 years and scored 25,738 runs in total for Middlesex in first-class cricket. In his entire first-class career, Edrich averaged 42.39 and scored 86 centuries. His excellent show also earned him a call-up to the England team and Edrich played 39 Tests, in which he averaged exactly 40.
